How would you guys go about un funking an old wooden clarinet for the purposes of giving it a good play testing?
A friend gave me her Albert Eb (LP) and I'd like to spend some time with it, without having to get a total overhaul and new case. I can deal with the case, I've had experience with that funk, but a wooden instrument is new territory for me. In the past I'd just get it overhauled and be done with it but I don't want to spend anything on a borrowed/loaned instrument that isn't a performing tool I can use or purchase.
